DETROIT _ A pornographic video played on an electronic billboard on the I-75 and M-59 interchange in Auburn Hills on Saturday night, police say.
Auburn Hills Police Department started receiving calls about the graphic images at about 11 p.m., sent officers to the scene and contacted the billboard operator, Canadian-based Triple Properties, to shut down the screen.
Auburn Hills Police Lt. Ryan Gagnon said the vulgar videos played for 15-20 minutes.
It is unclear who was responsible for broadcasting the videos. Auburn Hills Police Department is investigating.
"I've never seen or heard of anything like this," Gagnon said.
Multiple videos of the incident began circulating on social media overnight.
Regardless of whether the screen was hacked or if a Triple Properties employee displayed the porn on the billboard, charges could be filed, Gagnon said.
Triple Properties could not be reached for comment.
Gagnon said no known accidents occurred due to head-turning onlookers taking their eyes off the road, but it was nevertheless "a huge distraction to drivers and obviously obscene and inappropriate."
"It was dark out, so the screen was glowing really bright," he said.
